About Spicy peppers

Spicy peppers, including varieties like jalapeños, habaneros, and chili peppers, are vibrant ingredients commonly used in cuisines worldwide, such as Mexican, Thai, Indian, and Korean dishes. Their heat comes from capsaicin, a compound with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that may promote metabolism and support heart health. These peppers are rich in vitamins A and C, aiding immune function and skin health, and contain fiber for digestive support. They also provide small amounts of folate and potassium, essential for cellular functions and muscle health. While their fiery flavor can enhance meals, excessive consumption may irritate the stomach or exacerbate acid reflux for sensitive individuals. Spicy peppers are low in calories, making them a great option for adding bold taste to dishes without significantly increasing caloric intake. However, moderation is key for enjoying their benefits without discomfort.
